Why did your DD leave a team?

DD is not eager to go to the practices or games. She Tried talking to coach about what was bothering her. It was like talking to a wall. DD likes the girls on the team, but it is time to go. Do not know if the "grass is greener" but it has to be better than what is now!

What was bothering her? The answer to that question could explain the brick wall.

My DD played for many years on a very competitive local team in the midwest. Unfortunately, our coach was unsucessful in his repeated attempts to secure a spot in local exposure tournaments. Our team didn't have a history and we weren't part of the good ol boy network. We decided to break up and some of the players joined forces with a high profile exposure program. So far everything has gone according to plan. After one fall season, my DD will be taking a couple of unofficial visits this winter and two others will be doing the same. Her new team has 10-30 coaches watching every game they play. There is more competition for playing time but I think learning to compete with teammates is a good skill to have heading into to college.
